Nice

Double nice!

Too bad it's got 6,000 to 1 compression ratio and he needs to burn liquid hydrogen to keep it from pinging :-)

f-nuts

i am researching water/methanol injection (washer fliud is the common fill as it is actually flammable due to methanol content).... it is said that it gives you the same results from 91 octane as 116 octane for a kit price of under $400....still researching....

I finally got this thing aligned. It was a little more difficult than I was anticipating. The Total Control Products rack and pinion had to be removed and remounted to get to the camber plates. Of course on my first freeway voyage with a newly aligned vehicle, the 466 sprung a nasty vacuum leak at the water/meth injection carb spacer. So I had to drive from Renton to Puyallup with hellacious exhaust fumes because the mighty 466 was running so rich!!! Didn't puke though!!! Anyway I though I was due for some updated pictures, so here are some pics from my trip last weekend to visit the Godfather.....

Much better pics.

nervous habit....sorry.

after the last real-life lowering of another inch....i can tell you with the utmost confidence that it is impossible to lower that rig any more than it is now......with out 'windowing' the entire floor for clearance....but i am motivated as all hell after seeing the profile of it slammed. You are turning me into a low-lover!!!!

Say it isn't so!
So long to a good friend.

R.I.P. boss466.........I just heard that the kid that bought the beast let his friend drive the car ( who has had his license for about 4 whole months) and he was doing 100-120 mph and down shifted into 3rd gear thus allowing a piston to eat a valve and puke a piston and cylinder wall !!!!!!.........weak-assed version of the MadMav catastrophy. He had the car for 40 hours. Poor boss466...another friend I have betrayed.....
